An extended TRANSCAR model including ionospheric convection: simulation of EISCAT observations using inputs from AMIE

The TRANSCAR ionospheric model was extended to account for the convection of the magnetic field lines in the auroral and polar ionosphere. A mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian 13-moment approach was used to describe the dynamics of an ionospheric plasma tube. In the present study, one focuses on large sca...
